Gents, I realise that The Greek (Statue) is something of a favourite on the site, being the anti-hero he is, but are we being more than a little generous here?
Tall, broad and good in the air? So is the Oxo tower....and that's probably got a smaller turning circle and faster change of pace than our man Sotiris.

The Greek is a decent back up. Experienced and a good duell player. Not to bad on the ball either. The thing is that he, with all his limitations, is actually used as back up. He dont moan about it and he dont hide when called upon. People respect that.
There are far to many players of the same mediocre mould that is playing constantly, week in and week out for some, and they put in mediocre shifts all the way. And when they see stiffer competition brought in they are suddenly unsure about their future. If these players had been used as back up, and really showed up when called for, people would have respected them aswell.
